Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector for high amperage electrical crossing.
  • MBE Molecular Beam Epitaxy
  • the most common source of material for this molecular beam epitaxy is evaporation from a Knudsen source. It is then a crucible heated by Joule effect.
  • the crucible which can be made of boron nitride or graphite of high purity, for example, has a cylindrical or conical shape.
  • the Joule effect is generally obtained by the use of a resistant element, for example a filament.
  • a resistant element for example a filament.
  • temperatures above 1000 ° C are necessary, which involves the injection into the resistant element of a high intensity current.
  • a chain of suitable elements is therefore necessary to deliver the required current to the resistive element.
  • Electrical bushings 1 with high amperage for example at least of the order of 50 A are thus implemented to establish a connection between the resistive elements located inside the vacuum chamber and the outside of the enclosure where the generators are placed ( Figure 1).
  • Electrical cables 2 of appropriate cross-section, for example 10 mm 2 for a current 1 between 35 and 50 A provide the connection between these generators and the electrical bushings 1.
  • Electrical connectors 3 with copper lugs are used to carry out the connection between high amperage bushings and power cables 2.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a connector for high amp electrical crossing, simple in its design and economical, being excellent conductor while allowing easy handling of power cables and high protection for the user .
  • the invention relates to a connector according to claim 1.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a connector 10 for electrically connecting a power supply cable to an electric bushing 11 at high amperage.
  • These bushings 11 are well known and allow the realization of electrical connections between elements placed in a closed volume and a generator located outside this volume.
  • This crossing electrical 11 comprises at least one pin 12 having a first main axis 13 and of diameter d.
  • said pin 12 is welded to a flange 14 to be mounted on a vacuum system.
  • the connector 10 according to the invention is not limited to this single embodiment and is intended for electric bushings 11 with high amperage in general.
  • the connector 10 comprises a first assembly comprising a socket 15 having a second main axis 16.
  • This socket 15 is intended to be fixed, typically crimped, on an electric cable 17. It further comprises a part 19 having a recess 20 centered on the second main axis 16 and of diameter d intended to surround the pin 12 of the electrical bushing 11 when the electrical connection is established between said cable 17 and said bushing 11.
  • This bushing 15 is made of a very thin material. good conductor and low contact resistance, preferably high quality copper, silver.
  • Said first set also comprises a first insulation 21 intended to cover at least partially the socket 15.
  • said insulator 21 completely covers the socket 15 with the exception of said recesses 18, 20 for receiving the pin 12 or the power cable 17.
  • the first assembly further comprises a cap 22 having a first recess 23 centered on the second main axis 16 of the sleeve and locking means 24 for fixing the cap 22 on the first insulator 21.
  • This is called a "hat", a piece of insulating material having a wall 25 integral with a bottom 26.
  • the inner diameter D of this part is at least equal to the outer diameter of the first insulator 21 so that after fixing the cap 22 on the first insulator 21, this it then partially covers said insulator.
  • the cap 22 comprises a second cylindrical recess 27 placed facing the first insulator 21 and the locking means 24 then comprise a flat head screw.
  • the cap 22 is thus fixed by pressing the flat-head screw on the outer face of the first insulator.
  • the connector comprises a second assembly comprising a second insulator 28 and fixing means 29 for fixing the second insulator on the electrical bushing.
  • These fixing means 29 comprise for example bolts.
  • the second insulator 28 surrounds the pin 12 and has at least one recess centered on the first main axis 13 whose internal diameter is such that it surrounds the first insulator 21 to the cap 22 after insertion of the socket 15 into the pin 12.
  • the first and second insulators 21, 28 and the cap 22 are made of a rigid and electrically insulating plastic material such as polyetheretherketone ("PEEK” - polyetheretherketone) or a polyimide such as VESPEL, or other.
  • PEEK polyetheretherketone
  • VESPEL polyimide
  • the outer side faces of the first insulator 21 and inside the cap 22 and the second insulator 28 are at least partially threaded.
  • the cap 22 is screwed on the first insulator 21 thus partially covering said insulator 21.
  • the latter during the connection of the power cable 17 to the electrical bushing 11 is itself screwed on the second insulator 28 advantageously allowing a solid connection.
  • the inside diameter D of the cap 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first insulator 21 so that the cap 22 is fixed on said first insulator 21 by stamping.
  • the inner diameter of the second insulator 28 is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the first insulator 21 so that the first set can be introduced or extracted freely from the second set.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which the connector makes an electrical connection to an effusion source 30.
  • the flange 31 also includes a temperature reading 32 via a thermocouple bushing.
  • the fixing means 29 for fixing the second insulator 28 to the electrical feedthrough 11 comprise the screws and the nuts making it possible to fix the flange 14 of the high-amperage electric bushing 11 on the support flange of the effusion source 30.
  • This connector can advantageously be used for any system requiring the injection of a high intensity current and thus the use of high amperage traversing.
  • the polyetheretherketone insulators have a good temperature resistance (250.degree. C. over more than 20,000 hours) and the connectors according to the invention can be used on systems subjected to high temperatures.
